Endocyte Inc. will submit its ovarian cancer drug EC145 for European market approval in the third quarter after the European Commission granted it "orphan drug" status. The submission means West Lafayette-based Endocyte could have its first commercial product as early as 2013. European regulators granted EC145 orphan status because large numbers of women have ovarian cancers that do not respond to typical chemotherapy treatments. And no new drug has been approved to treat ovarian cancer in 10 years. The European Commission also granted orphan status to an imaging agent Endocyte has developed, called EC20, which lights up ovarian tumors in women that have a genetic variation that makes them bond hungrily to folate. That’s important because EC145 is a combination of a powerful chemotherapy agent and folate, so that it enters cancerous cells but does not enter healthy cells. That allows EC145 to be more deadly to cancer, without serious side effects, than patients can tolerate with traditional chemotherapy agents.
